Five Races to Go: Cup Series Playoffs Following Indy

Kyle Larson wins his fourth victory of 2024 at Indy this past weekend solidifying his lead in the Playoff Standings. His win means there is no movement on the cutline which benefits both Ross Chastain and Bubba Wallace.

Bubba Wallace had a fantastic day at Indy leading 26 laps and earning 42 points on the afternoon with his 5th place finish pushing momentum forward for the team. His 3 top 10s in the last 4 races have brought him from more than 50 points behind the cutline to only seven back. On the other end of the spectrum, the rest of the drivers outside of Todd Gilliland on the cutline had less than spectacular days finishing 15th or worse.
